Retraction Note: Carvacrol and PPARγ agonist, pioglitazone, affects inhaled paraquat-induced lung injury in rats

Carvacrol reduces abnormal and dead sperm counts by attenuating sodium arsenite‐induced oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy in the testicular tissues of rats

“…6,10 Carvacrol (CAR) (5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol), the predominant monoterpenic phenol, is the active ingredient of Lamiaceae plants including Origanum, Thymus and Corydothymus species. [11][12][13] It is known that this compound, which is generally used as a food additive and flavoring agent 14 has pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-cancer, antifungal, insecticidal and antibacterial. [14][15][16][17] It is thought that the hydroxyl group in the aromatic ring gives CAR antioxidant properties.…”
